Best of the Month October 2014

A recap of my most popular posts from the previous month, October 2014.

I've passed 100,000 total page views on my blog. Pretty cool (I think). Now my next goal is 1 million. I'll get there slowly but surely.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and will have a great/delicious holiday season. I cooked a turkey this year for just my husband and me and we've been eating leftovers since. The only bad thing is that a 10 pound turkey didn't leave enough leftovers. I was excited about using leftovers in new and creative ways but my husband and I haven't gotten tired of eating them yet. I think we are gonna try to buy another turkey after the holidays when hopefully they'll be on sale. Then maybe I'll get a chance to get some pictures and posts bout turkey.

Nachos are always a great gameday snack, or even dinner. In my house anything can be used for nachos. We've made Bacon Nachos, left over prime rib Nachos, plain cheese and jalapeno nachos, and many more varieties. This time I had left over rotisserie chicken and left over Black Bean and Corn Salsa so I used these to make nachos. All nachos are tasty and these did not disappoint. The chips were crunchy, the cheese melted perfectly, and every chip had toppings on it. We've got nacho making down to an art.

Chicken and Black Bean Salsa Nachos

Ingredients:

Tortilla chips
Shredded cheese
Black Bean and Corn Salsa
Leftover rotisserie chicken
Guacamole

On an oven proof platter lay down a layer of tortilla chips.

Top the chips with cheese, chicken, and salsa (I put a little cheese below the other toppings and then again on top so when melted it would help hold everything on the chip). Then top with another layer of chips and toppings finishing with a sprinkle of cheese.

Bake at 200F for about 10-15 minutes to melt the center cheese, then broil for few minute until the top cheese is melted.

Servings depend on the size of the platter and how many layers you make. We use a roughly 9x12 pan with 2-3 layers for 2 people.

Top with a dollop of guacamole or sour cream and serve with more guacamole, sour cream, and/or salsa.

Enjoy.
